    Hey DIY Fam. In this tutorial, I show how to make the waistband and front zip fly for women's trouser.
    It's my first time making the zipper fly so I'm excited to find out your feedback from this video.
    I make the patterns un the first half if the video and test it out in the second half of the tutorial.
    Hope you enjoy and try it out in your own time.

      Kim Dave Hy. My name is Precious. I wanted to ask if you could please mentor me in sewing?

      Kim, once you cut for the waist band you have to go back and adjust for the waist dimensions to reduce bulk. That should eliminate the excess,

      Thank you for this. I have never seen a zipper and this is probably the best explanation I've seen.

    Great job with the fly and the fly extension (so much easier than separate fly pieces), as well as the contoured waistband. I think enlarging and extending the darts changes the shape of the pants though. The upper part of the dart is contained in the new contoured waistband so the darts do not need to be extended, just need to finish what is left of them. Otherwise great job. I liked the top stitching the outside of the waistband also. Thanks for this.

    The proper way to join the seams when making trousers is to sew the inside leg seams FIRST and THEN the crotch seam. The trousers will fit much better without binding in the crotch area and fit the natural curve of the crotch. Try it and I think you will find that the trousers are more comfortable to wear.

    I'm so proud, but my pattern looks weirdly big lol XDDDD I hope the pants aren't humongous. XD I'm going for a loose fit but still XDDD ahahhaha

    Good job Priscillia! I think if u had extended the waist band upwards after tracing the waistline rather than dropping it down to trace from the bottom of the waist, you would have gotten a perfect fit and not take on the waist agin by an inch.

    • @Katzbynite
      @Katzbynite 5 лет назад

      The extra bulk is a result of not recalculating the waist measurement once you cut for the waist band. Remember when you cut below the waist there is an increase because you are going down to the hip. You have to adjust for the waist to curve back in.

    Great vid. Little question on the front waistband. How come one side ends up inline with the fly but the other side is extended beyond the fly? It’s great as that’s where your button will go but I’d expect them to either be both inline with fly or both extended beyond fly?

    @panderichthys_rhombolepis 2 года назад

    Hi, there, thanks so much for this wonderful video - the vids on your channel are super useful. Just one question, though: When measuring for the seam allowance, how come you measure the seam allowance *within* the outline of the waistband and not outside of it (in the general manner that seam allowance are accounted for and included in the pattern cut-out).
    I am referring to Timestamps 3:40 through to 3:58.
    I would be super grateful if you could clarify this for me.
    Thanks a ton! ❤

    • @panderichthys_rhombolepis
      @panderichthys_rhombolepis 2 года назад

      The above being said, you did in fact mark (only) the lower seam allowance line *below* the lower margin of/*outside of* the waistband. For the rest of the seam allowances, you marked the seam allowance lines *within* the pattern.
      Refer Timestamps 3:52 through to 3:59
      I forgot to add this to my original comment.
      Thanks much! Thanks 🙏
